"Pineapples. Those are funny things. Neither Pine nor Apple, it is a fruit with many uses. It can be used as a weapon, as a back scratcher, or as a delicious treat. Discordianism is very similar to a Pineapple in that way. I have personally used Discordianism as a weapon, back scratcher, and a delicious treat. I think that’s what separates the men from the boys.

"I’m really happy to accept this award and I would like to thank all of the people who helped get me here; Jerry Springer, Lady Gaga, The Amazing Atheist, #Gamergate, Ronald McDonald, Obama, I can go on. I will go on. Allow me to go on.

"On second thought, I'd rather not go on. The one person I’d truly like to thank is myself. I’m a great person. I won an award, how can I not be great?

"Now here’s hoping this award gets me laid!

"This is such a nice honor. Especially to get in with Timothy Bowen. I’ve done so little lately; will have to start editing wikis and doing Discordian-pineapplely thing again so maybe I’ll deserve this. I’m too late to eat pineapple for this year, but promise to in 2016! Hail Eris! All Hail Pat Pineapple!”

Pope Hilde

The fifth group to award the Order of the Pineapple was the Order of the Pineapple itself. By the end of 2010, the group was thought big enough to give its own award.

The 34th annual award (33rd anniversary) was given on 18 January 2015, or 18 Chaos 3181. Both winners were writers who contributed to online and printed Discordian works, but apparently none of the same works. Apparently, the Order of the Pineapple is the first place their paths ever crossed.
